Welcome

Lifestyle Maven, the midlife lifestyle blog.

I'm Vicki: midlifer; mum; blogger; recruitment consultant; Londoner; control freak; procrastinator. In this little corner of the internet you'll find my ramblings on food, fashion, fun, beauty and widsom (although as you'll see, I'm really no maven). Please join me as I fumble my way through midlife.
You can find out more about me through these blogs and on the 'about me' page.
Much love, Vx

Can we keep in touch?
